Class BaseFactory<P extends Producible>

java.lang.Object

org.seedstack.business.domain.BaseFactory<P>

Type Parameters:

P - Type of the produced object.

All Implemented Interfaces:

Factory<P>

public abstract class BaseFactory<P extends Producible>
extends Object
implements Factory<P>

An helper base class that can be extended to create an implementation of a factory interface which, in turn, must extend Factory.

This base implementation provides generic object creation through the create(Object...) method that will resolve a constructor with the same argument types as its own and invoke it.

Parameters:

producedClass - the produced class.

Method Detail

getProducedClass

public Class<P> getProducedClass()

Description copied from interface: Factory

Specified by:

getProducedClass in interface Factory<P extends Producible>

Returns:

the produced class

create

public P create(Object... args)

Description copied from interface: Factory

Creates an object instance in a generic way, using the given arguments. How are these arguments used for creation is implementation-dependent.
